The centerpiece of the kitchen, and perhaps the entire house is the large concrete island. With enough seating for 10, it's rounded on one end and is always the casual meeting place, whether it's for breakfast or when throwing a party. The backsplash is glass-tile, and there's halogen lighting throughout. It's positioned as the helm as it overlooks the front porch and yard, the porta-cachere drive, the stairs and family room. and the kitchen features all stainless-steel appliances, including gas stove and
GE Advantium speed-cook microwave oven.
